Will a 243win feed from long action AI mags?

Re: Will a 243win feed from long action AI mags?

Thanks for the info guys. The reason is I have a spare gun with a Micky stock that is a LA and am thinking that it would make a fun toy. However I am only interested in the 243win.


If it can be used, do the mags need any modifications?

What was the LA prior? Might have a bolt face problem if it was other than a 30-06.

the rounds would quickly get damaged, banging around in the wrong sized mag!

if you were to try it i think you would need a spacer of some kind and you may need to bend the lips

Rob, I have that about that, however commonality with other guns has me wanting to stay with the 243.


Thanks guys.

The point was that it *could* be done, i.e. there is nothing to stop it however it is far from being ideal and the rounds will slip forward however physically it can be done.
